How it works
The National Mathematics and Physics SCITT’s South England hub is led by Benenden School, one of the leading boarding schools in Britain. Founded in 1923, they are situated in 250 acres of attractive parkland in Kent, the Garden of England, just an hour from London. There are 550 girls in the School, aged 11-18.
Trainees will be based here for their hub training days providing the opportunity for trainees to come together with other physics trainees, share ideas and experiences and learn from our outstanding hub subject leads.
Trainees will spend most of their time at one of our growing network of placement schools, where they will build their experience and learn from some great teaching mentors, so they can enjoy a flying start to their teaching careers.
Please note that this hub only offers teacher training in physics.
Subject specific teacher training for physics
Our courses are led by expert teachers in physics so you will cover the subject you want to teach rather than a generalist syllabus.

“Leaders have designed a well structured, coherent and ambitious ITE curriculum … Trainees value how well subject leaders and mentors within their regional hub know them as individuals.”
